Reform i'm the Navy.

Secretary Whitney, by his rebuke to
Admiral Luce, has drawn upon himself
the attention of the general public, He
has subjected himself to a rigid examina-
ton which, ii all that has been ascertained
be true, he cannot at this time afford.
And yet it is well perhaps for the people
to know what he has been doing in his
department which pertains so much to the
defensive interests of the country. 1t
will be remembered that MIR. Whitney in
his first annual report emphasized the lack
of business method in the navy depart
mcnt throughout and criticised the
methods in vogue, although inexpensive,
as worthy of condemnation and suscepti-
BILE of being utilized for fraud. He also
suggested plan for reorganization which
really was Capitalization of the purchas-
ing power. Congress did not heed his
suggestions. rather took no notice of them.
In his second annual report he reiterated
the same plan and with the same result.
But in 1886 the Secretary called board
of officers and directed the carrying out of
his plan. without the authority of Con-
gress. and put to an end the system en-
poyed since 1912. Under his plan the
first move was to consolidate all the gov
eminent stores at each yard and station
and on board OF all vessels of war in a
general storehouse, under the charge OF
orIr Il
stations was to be general storekeeper.
1t became necessary, in order to enforce
this order, to direct the arbitrary DISPOSE
ton of large quantity OF stores bv public
auction to enable the proper care and
custody of what might remain.
The next move was the order directing
the various chiefs of bureaus to cause to
be prepared and submitted schedules of
materials required for the use of
the Navy. which were to be CLASH
fed, advertised and contracted tor by the
Paymaster-G General under the direction OF
the Secretary. Coupled with this order
was the authority given the Paymaster-
General to pay all bills under the various
appropriations pertaining to the Naval
establishment and to make all purchases.
This change of the method was met with
the disapproval of nearly every head OF
the various bureaus. In the first place it
necessitated q great deal more work; in
the second, it prevented the bureaus from
supplying those articles which they should
need without the direction OF the central
purchasing power, detriment to dispatch
and efficiency. But as this plan saved in
clerks salaries, S57 900, it was claimed
that great reform had been effected. The

Opposition to Cleveland.

While it is more than probable that Cleve
land will be renominated, it is apparent that
there is great opposition to him in influential
democratic circles. snd so wide spread and
deeply rooted that if the republican success
were not assured on more positive grounds
it might be secured through it.
This antagouism to the President is on by
means confined, as his admirers would fsiu
believe, to disappointed office-seekers. There
are, of course, the usual, and perhaps more
than the usual number of those who will not
regret to see disaster overtske the President
who has done nothing for them. And they
will quietly, if not openly, contribute their
full share to his defeat. But this source of
democratic opposition is not the only, nor
the chief, among the causes for the dis
approval which permestes his party to such
great extent.
There are many democrats who put great
faith in the promises of what was to be ac-
complished through Clevelsnd's administra.
ton. They would have been glad to have
had those promises fulfilled. But that his
administration has accomplished nothing is
as patent TO his friends as to his foes. This,
therefore, is a cause for grave dissppoint-
ment. But more than this. There is much
natural disgust among democrats because he
and the coterie who are basking in the sun
shine of Presidential favor attribute to his
party's unwillingness to follow, the failure
which they know is due to his incspacity to
lead.
Again; whatever else may be said of the
average democrat it cannot be charged that
he is ashamed of his party. Through good
and through evil report he has never failed to
Boast of his democracy. Through years of
storm and disaster he has chung to it. And
when, through his persistencv and his cour
age to resort 10, and to defend, whatever
measures were necessary to accomplish it,

1t seems that that willy politician, Frank
Jones of New Hampshire, has taken adj
vantage OF the breach in the ranks of the
democratic party of Maine, to run thing:

they are quarrelling, he, as did the monkey

so separately, and union is not very
likely, so long as the two chiefs are at

The railroad accidents continue in
various parts of the country and as they
continue the fact that the companies are
to blame for them, becomes more appar-
ent. AS an illustration, it is claimed by
reliable men that the recent accident on
the Wabash railroad was caused by rotten
sleepers which would not hold the spikes
fastening the rails to them. 1t IS time that
a more thorough inspection of railroad
property was made by State authorities, if
railroad companies fail to keep their roads
in proper condition.

The New York Star, the ablest demo-
cratic sheet in that city, in long editorial
address to the liquor dealers of the State,
boldly pledges the friendship of the demo-
cratic party and invites them to still
stronger alliance with that party. 1t
speaks in the most cordial terms. address
ing them as gentlemen who represent
vast commercial interests and great moral
responsibilities, and as "a respectable
and influential body of citizens engaged
in lawful and reputable business" 1t
expresses deep regret that there are I'M
reasonable oppostions of alarming pro-
portions against them. The Star then con-
graduates them that they have formed so
strong an association which is in so flourish
ing n condition and, after further compli-
ment, invites them to vote the straight
democratic ticket if they wish to insure
their interests. This is proof positive of
the position of the democratic party in
New York on the temperance question,
and yet the leaders of the prohlbitory party
ally themselves with it to promote their
temperance measures.
